Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted June 15, 2022 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Had a good weekend at NJMP with my son this past Saturday. We both rode well and had a great time. A little FZ vs. SV action Love the new riding position from the bodywork and clip-ons as well as the slipper clutch. Letting the Kid lead me around for a few laps. 4 "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb.junior Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Looks good. My Flexiglass has held up great. I've crashed it three times so far (not been a great season, for many reasons...). Did a quick repair done (some quick glass, paint and duct tape work :/) to pass tech at Road America but am getting it totally redone now. It's good stuff.

I dusted off my spray guns, it's been 17 years since I last painted anything. Absolutely bitching. Do you have any problems with the fairing stay "staying" put? Mine seems to not get tight enough and wants to wiggle and get side ways. It was also slipping down lower than where I wanted it, so we put in a spacer of sorts to hold it at the right height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks JB As for the fairing stay, yes, mine will rotate side to side a bit even though I have it tightened down good. Up and down so far stays in place. When it looks off center left to right, a small push gets it back in line. Actually, I prefer that it can move bit, rigid things tend to crack.

WhiteJesusRides Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 How'd you keep the little 3D printed dowels for the robem flexiglass mounts on the sides from sliding out when riding? I had issues with the little dowels snapping and also sliding out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's how they come. If you printed them yourself, maybe they don't have this hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, use clips in the plastic printed thingies; much easier than safety wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little heavier (+.5lbs), but but sturdier and does not move. Let me see if I can find pics of both to post. If you're running the Flexiglass, the Robem stay is the only option. The side mounts are interchangable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses the same base, which I honestly don't like, because it comes lose and wants to move around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also needed a thicker one for the front fairing. I got some spring clips for Kurvey Girl to hold them in place. I did need to drill holes in the metal mounting tubes for the pins.

Yeah, I inherited some 3d printed ones in a parts box, and they don't work worth a sh*t. Nylon is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
